Hi,
No luck with a cheap and crappy Dane-Elec 2GB SD card here
Freshly FAT 32 formatted with:
CODE
samuel@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkfs.msdos -v -F 32 -n GP2X /dev/mmcblk0p1
I also tried to format it with gparted...
I tried with both my laptop and GP2X built-in card readers...
My GP2X is an F200 B with FW 4.0
I boot the console with select + home but it doesn't go past the initial white GP2X screen...
Bye, Magic Sam
Try another card.. Also: mkfs.vfat is what I use. It probably just is a wrapper to mkfs.msdos but who knows. I have an F200 B and it will read my 2GB generic SD card I got as a promotion when booted. But it will not whatsoever recognize that same card when I try to update the firmware off it. My F100 will flash off that card just fine. But the second I use my Transcend 2GB and 4GB cards they work fine.

- picodrive tv out with 2 gamepad works
- I had a black screen when launching PocketSnes with TV out, and need to do a hard reboot.
- Wind and Water works fine.
I had PocketSnes working great with TV out but then I made some changes to fix some other things, didn't go back and test PocketSnes and last night I found the same problem.. It is a problem with the VSCL register (PocketSnes seems to do strange things to the scaler registers). I'll fix it this weekend hopefully.
The TvOut tweaker took an lot of work, I had to really finesse all the tweaks it makes over the course of a week working all day long it is so hard to get a good balance between all the crazy things programs and libraries do with the scaler registers.

Just to add my thanks and good confirmation: works well with my F200 (other than a pixel wide white line on the left). I can include a serial or build number if anyone cares.
Yes, Gruso is right it is a timings problem. I set the timings lower (-4) than the F100 units to make the scanlines better. When you do that, you notice a faint line on the left. You can get rid of that line by increasing the timing (keep it on UPLL though). You will start to see worse scanlines, however.

A simple suggestion:
Put the CRC of the files along the download link, so anyone can check them before flashing the GP2X.
OK, I'll try to remember to put an md5sum or something

Fcalc application don''t works.
No music in duke3d. Timidity problems?.
Gnuboy has crappy sound.
Mp2x don't read OGM files.
I didn't compile OGG support into Mp2x and had no idea anyone actually used it. In fact, I did an hour of research into this and found that using OGG audio in an AVI is rare and quite unsupported. Are you using it to play audio files?!?
As for Duke3d, I know music works as I was playing it with music last night. Check your installation. Timidity is something you put on your SD card, it has nothing to do with Open2X.
I never noticed a problem with sound Gnuboy, in fact i used it to test Tvout (and found you have to disable the tv tweaker for it, it has fine tvout on its own). I'll look into it.
Fcalc doesn't work?? That's strange I'll also look into it.

"
Nice to hear that PAL tvout works.. Does the image look too cut off or about right? On my NTSC TV I get about 8 missing pixels at most on all sides. Can you center the image OK, adjusting offsets and can you scale the image bigger or smaller?"QUOTE
well...
1)Pal works, nice view but it can shift a bit left.couse of a blank part of the laft part in videoplayer(mplayer)
2)With open2x's videoplayer(mplayer) don't show the second line of the subtitle. Just top of the 2nd line shows.
I think not the subtitles but the whole bottom area don't show. Just like standart gmenu2x tvout problem.

3)why mp2x(mplayer 4.1) don't work. I need it becouse of Turkish subtitle language support. Default one is not supporting. When i try to start mp2x, it just shows "launching mp2x" and freez.
Gpsp2x tvout (on pal) works fine.
mame4all(v1.5) dont work,you can choose the game but can't see the loading roms. Game starts but just see the rainbows on the screen.
Mamegp2x(previous vers. of mame) : can see the loading roms but end
Cant see the games. Games actually starts in both mame, i know from the sounds but no screen.
OK, can you find a (hopefully short) Turkish movie with a subtitles file that doesn't work, host it on mediafire.com and post the link here or PM me with it? I need an example of this so I can fix Open2X's video player? I can't download big files (I have no internet at home) so try to find an example 50MB or less please. I did compile subtitles support in, I have no idea why it doesn't work.
As for why Mame doesn't work with TVout: The version I have (4.9 I think) uses an ANCIENT version of Rlyeh's Minlib. Because of this, it doesn't use the scaler registers properly. I will download the latest gp2x mame and see if I notice this same problem and tell Franxis if it does. Make absolutely sure you are using the latest version of Mame first, though. The problem specifically is probably that it incorrectly sets the VSCL register to a ridiculously low value.
I can post an updated version of the Mame 4.9 binary in the meantime.

Ok good news!
Now works!
At the black & pourple screen i pressed buttons and I waited almost 15 min after this I rebooted my console while pressed Select and start and now works.
Is this problem caused by newest LCDs?
Perhaps it is. One of the problems is that it's very difficult to get definitive information on stuff like this. GPH just randomly changes crap and doesn't really make it easy to keep track of anything. (Fools)
I think I know what we need to do, lemme see if I can fix this for others.

some quick testing: (tvout tested on PAL F100 model)
not working
pykaraoke
cave story
I tested Cave Story (not the first time I tested it with Open2X tvout) and it does work, at least in NTSC mode. In fact I got a lot farther in the story playing on my USB game pad.. Try a fresh installation maybe?
